The existing rbtree implementation might store consecutive elements
where the closing element and the opening element might overlap, eg.
[ a, a+1) [ a+1, a+2)
This patch removes the optimization for non-anonymous sets in the exact
matching case, where it is assumed to stop searching in case that the
closing element is found. Instead, invalidate candidate interval and
keep looking further in the tree.
The lookup/get operation might return false, while there is an element
in the rbtree. Moreover, the get operation returns true as if a+2 would
be in the tree. This happens with named sets after several set updates.
The existing lookup optimization (that only works for the anonymous
sets) might not reach the opening [ a+1,... element if the closing
...,a+1) is found in first place when walking over the rbtree. Hence,
walking the full tree in that case is needed.
This patch fixes the lookup and get operations.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
